Btw, guys who accept the QO get the same no-trade protection as any player who signs this winter. Their teams can’t trade them without their permission until May 15.

Jed! and crew are very bad at their jobs
Full story on Imanaga's return to the Cubs. Jed Hoyer (who thought Cody Bellinger would opt out last year, and didn't expect Marcus Stroman to do so the year before, and seems to misread the free-agent market often) might have missed his guess here. northsidebaseball.com/news-rumors/...
BREAKING: Shota Imanaga Accepts Qualifying Offer, Will Stay with Cubs for $22.025 Million
The Cubs won't be parting ways with their veteran southpaw starters, after all. After each side declined an option earlier this month, Shota Imanaga opted to accept the qualifying offer Tuesday.

i dont think people realize how catastrophic DOGE and Trump have been for universities. People wanna say sports are separate but when you dont have any cash anywhere and all forms of income - from foreign students to cancer research grants - everything suffers
So with the B1G jumping from a failed private equity deal to a 24-team playoff proposal I have to ask the question: do they owe someone money? Because this is all coming off very "pay me by next week or I'm breaking your legs"

like ive said for about a decade the gop has wanted nothing more than to occupy mexico after they nationalized lithium
A news conference started well for Gianni Infantino. Then Trump reiterated threats to relocate World Cup games from LA and Seattle. And then the likely recipient of FIFA’s peace prize didn’t rule out launching strikes on World Cup co hosts Mexico.

My annual reminder that Andy Pettitte took PEDs and lied about it multiple times, giving half-truths each time new information turned up that he could not deny.
Which is to say that you should ignore anyone who supports his Hall of Fame case while knocking Manny, A-Rod, etc. for PED use/dishonesty.

whats funny is that both will probably ignore the massive plague that hit and the christianization of slavs, basically ending the endless supply of slaves for romans after they no longer could take new lands by force

Pitt’s star running back said he sat out an extra week to make sure he was healthy for the Notre Dame game. You cannot honestly believe Pitt/Narduzzi didn’t want to beat Notre Dame on Saturday. It was their biggest home game in years.
I do think there is going to be legitimate discourse about coaches like Narduzzi saying games against ND are irrelevant when they are angling for a conference title & then going out and playing like it. If no team playing against ND is taking the games seriously then there’s going to be issues.

thats not communism
Yes, sort of, but "salami tactics" refers to the way Communists after 1945 would infiltrate parliamentary systems by gaining control of key ministries and other positions one "slice" at a time. Today people use it as a generic frog-boil metaphor, but it used to have more precise meaning in E. Eur.
What we are experiencing is creeping authoritarianism, in which incremental changes some have referred to in the past as “salami tactics” are used to undermine all of the underpinnings of democratic government, slicing them away methodically with (in this case) mostly quasi-legal modifications. Yes?
